Jiang finished dressing and headed out. Just as she reached the security booth, Lu Jinye called.
Jiang Zao answered the phone: "Hello."
Lu Jinye: "Where are you? I'll come pick you up."
Jiang Zao: "Uh, here at the entrance of the Riverside Villas."
Lu Jinye was taken aback, but then didn't ask any more questions: "Okay, wait for me there for a while. I'm very close by and will be there soon."
Jiang Zao nodded: "Okay."
Wait patiently.
Lu Jinye arrived quickly as expected. Today he wasn't driving his G-Class, but his usual nanny van.
After Jiang got into the car, he saw his assistant Xiao Zhang and his agent Brother Long.
Jiang nodded: "Brother Long, Xiao Zhang, hello there~"
Wu Long smiled and said, "Good morning."
Then, with a gossipy look in his eyes, he glanced at Lu Jinye and then at Jiang Zao.
Ah!! I'm so curious!
Assistant Zhang Hao was even more gossipy, his eyes practically glued to Lu Jinye and Jiang Zao!
Wu Long slapped him across the face and said, "Drive properly!"
Little Zhang Hao pouted, looking aggrieved, and said, "Okay, okay, I know..."
The car drove smoothly toward the premiere location.
Lu Jinye looked at Jiang Zao: "Are you nervous?"
Jiang Zao shook her head: "Why would I be nervous about watching a movie?"
Lu Jinye raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Oh? Did you know that the male and female leads will go on stage after watching the movie? There will be reporters asking questions."
Jiang Zao froze on the spot for a moment: "Ah...ah!??"
Lu Jinye burst out laughing: "Silly boy, you're only realizing this now?"
Jiang Zao nodded blankly: "Um, do we really have to go?"
Lu Jinye: "Hmm, I think so."
Jiang was speechless: "Why didn't you say so sooner! If I had known, I would have dressed up nicely!"
Lu Jinye took a serious look at Jiang Zao's outfit: "Sister Jiang, please, you're already absolutely gorgeous! If you dress up any more, how are we supposed to live?"
Jiang Zao chuckled: "Alright, alright."
When the group arrived at the premiere location, there were already many fans outside. Wu Long led Lu Jinye and Jiang Zao into the cinema through a special passage.
While the movie theater was dark, Lu Jinye led Jiang Zao to a quiet corner to sit down.
The movie officially started playing less than two minutes later.
A large number of viewers came to see the film because of Lu Jinye, a talented actor. Among these people, most of them were skeptical about the female lead.
How could a girl who has never had any professional training become the female lead in Lu Jinye's story?
Furthermore, many haters waited for the movie to air so they could launch a fierce attack on Lu Jinye.
However……
They're going to be disappointed...
When Jiang Zao's face appeared, everyone gasped softly!
What kind of face is this?
She was wearing a blue and white school uniform, with the sleeves rolled up to reveal her slender wrists. Her fingers held a pen as she looked at the textbook in her hand.
Her skin was as white as snow, making her features appear even more striking. A few stray strands of hair fell casually beside her ears, shimmering golden in the twilight outside the window.
Even in a simple school uniform, she looked exceptionally stunning and beautiful.
Inside the movie theater, some girls were whispering among themselves: "Wow, this is so good! No wonder my brother chose her as the female lead."
The girl next to her said, "That's right! With that face, even if all she does is stare, I could stare at her for over three hours!"
"You're right, she's so pretty! I wonder if this girl likes girls! I'm in love!"
Forget about it! You're like a toad trying to eat swan meat!
…………
The conversation between the two girls was overheard by Jiang Zao and Lu Jinye, who were sitting behind them. Lu Jinye looked at Jiang Zao with a smile.
She leaned closer and whispered, "Sister Jiang, you're incredibly charming."
Jiang Zao retorted without backing down, "Brother Ye, we're even."
Lu Jinye smiled.
At the beginning of the movie, everyone was only amazed by Jiang Zao's beautiful face as Lin Yi, but later they were completely captivated by Jiang Zao's acting skills.
As everyone watched Lin Yi being bullied at school on the screen, they couldn't control their fists.
Then, watching Lin Yi jump off the school rooftop.
Some people cried out in alarm, "No!!"
Some people were already crying their eyes out.
Everyone watched with grief as the policeman, played by Lu Jinye, desperately held the already dead Lin Yi in his arms.
The entire audience in the movie theater was in tears.
As the movie ended and the lights came on, everyone remained immersed in the somber atmosphere, unable to shake it off for a long time.
At this point, some staff members, whose noses were red from crying, went up on stage and set up a simple frame.
Lu Jinye got up and pulled Jiang Zao onto the stage.
Then everyone realized that they were lucky enough to have watched a movie with the male and female leads.
The staff handed microphones to Jiang Zao and Lu Jinye.
Many people's attention was no longer on Lu Jinye, but on Jiang Zao who was beside him.
Even in simple clothes, her figure looks incredibly stunning.
The surrounding lights fell on her cheeks, making her bright face even softer. She smiled, her eyebrows curved, and she was absolutely stunning.
There was even a little girl nearby crying out, "Waaah, Lin Yi isn't dead yet, waaaah!"
Another audience member exclaimed, "Wow! She's even prettier in the movie!"
A male audience member blinked and exclaimed, "What kind of director is this? He made Lin Yi look ugly in the movie! She's so much prettier in person than in the film!!"
Director Feng Jian, who had just stepped onto the stage: "..."
How presumptuous of me...
Then I'll leave!
The main characters were all on stage, and the reporters were all ready.
A reporter from Pineapple TV asked first: "Actor Lu, what made you want to make this kind of movie?"
Lu Jinye held the microphone, his deep voice coming through: "First of all, this type of film can allow the audience to see directly the cruel nature of school bullying and the harm it causes to the victims, thereby arousing widespread social attention and deep reflection."
"Did you know that film, as a powerful medium for cultural dissemination, has a wide social influence? It can lay this issue bare in front of the public and make everyone face it squarely."
"I just want to use my meager strength to make more people aware of this problem and pay attention to it."
After Lu Jinye finished answering, another female reporter spoke up: "I have a question for our female lead, Lin Yi."
Jiang Zao opened her eyes wide and took the microphone from Lu Jinye: "Go ahead."
The female reporter spoke gently: "Lin Yi, I heard that you are still in high school and have not received any professional acting training."
"However, we can see that your performance in the movie was very realistic. Have you ever encountered similar events in your normal studies?"
